In this video, I will restore an antique waffle maker forgotten by people and time. The waffle maker was extraordinarily rusty and quite tricky to restore. It Is over 100 years old and was made in Belgium. Many cultures, such as Polish, French, and Slovaks, used waffle machines, and Italians called it pizzelle or galettes instead of waffles. I love this object, and when I saw it for the first time, I knew it would make a great restoration video and deserve to be restored and preserved. It was bought at the flea market for 30$. After cleaning and seasoning the cast iron with canola oil, I'm satisfied with how it turned out. The restoration process went well, and I had the chance to experiment with new things, especially the waffles I made after an old traditional flemish recipe. They were delicious! Trust me! Do you like waffles?
It was like a trip back in time using this old waffle maker.
